Participants were categorized into two groups: isolated NP (NP group) and coexisting NP and temporomandibular disorder pain (NP + TMD pain group). TMD diagnosis was based on the Pain Screener. Neck pain and disability were assessed using the Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire (BNQ) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Parafunctional behaviors were evaluated using the Oral Behaviors Checklist (OBC). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.ResultsThe NP + TMD pain group had significantly higher BNQ and NDI scores than the NP group (p < 0.001), indicating more severe pain and disability. Additionally, 69.1% of the NP + TMD pain group reported awake bruxism compared to 37.7% in the NP group (p < 0.001). Joint noises (80.5% vs. 6.9%) and jaw locking (30.1% vs. 1.9%) were also more frequent in the NP + TMD pain group (p < 0.001). Logistic regression showed that high OBC scores, joint noises, and closed jaw locking were strong predictors of NP + TMD pain.ConclusionThe findings reveal significant correlations between NP and TMD pain, but the cross-sectional design limits conclusions about causation.

Establishing SLS as a return-to-sport criterion may provide a clinically accessible alternative.ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate whether SLS performance could serve as an alternative return-to-sports criterion.MethodsEighty-five patients who underwent ACL reconstruction were enrolled in this study. Knee extension and flexion strengths were assessed to calculate the H/Q ratio. SLS was initiated at a height of 30 cm, with the height reduced by 10 cm per attempt until success. The participants were categorized according to their maximum height and knee strengths, and H/Q ratios were compared.ResultsKnee extension strength did not vary significantly across the groups; however, knee flexion strength and H/Q ratio showed notable differences. The participants who completed SLS from 20 cm demonstrated an H/Q ratio of 55% or higher, meeting the threshold for sports resumption.ConclusionThese results indicate that achieving SLS from a 20 cm height may be a feasible criterion to assess readiness for sports resumption after ACL reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10538127251314027"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143692254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) was utilized to measure kinesiophobia. Clinical parameters were evaluated using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), finger-to-floor distance test (FTF), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the modified Schober Test (MST).ResultsParticipants were grouped based on their TSK scores. SJD symptom duration was longer in patients with kinesiophobia compared to those without (p = 0.002) and a positive relationship was identified between symptom duration and TSK scores (p < 0.001). Higher mean VAS score (p = 0.047), ODI (p = 0.003) and HADS-Depression sub-scores (p = 0.024) were determined in kinesiophobic group. Although HADS-Anxiety sub-scores were higher in the kinesiophobic group, these scores did not exceed the cut-off value in both groups. A significant association was identified between ODI and TSK scores (ρ=0.467 p = 0.002), and between FTF distance and TSK scores in the kinesiophobic group (ρ=0.307 p = 0.046).ConclusionKinesiophobia has the potential to elevate the risk of developing chronic pain.

The methodological quality of these studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).ResultsSeventeen studies [77%] were rated as high quality, four studies [18%] as moderate quality, and one study [5%] as low quality. Thirteen studies assessed sitting time, ten assessed sitting posture, and thirteen assessed sitting behavior. Among the studies investigating sitting time, five showed no relationship with low back pain (LBP) prevalence, while eight demonstrated a relationship with LBP prevalence. For studies exploring sitting posture, seven found a relationship with LBP. Regarding studies on sitting behavior, only one showed no relationship between LBP prevalence, while twelve indicated a relationship.ConclusionsLonger sitting time, poor sitting posture, fewer breaks and more static sitting in sitting behavior, were found to be associated with LBP. The strongest evidence for an association with LBP was found for sitting behavior. When considering workplace ergonomics and interventions for LBP, it is advisable to consider all factors, including sitting, posture and behavior.","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10538127251320320"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143669174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
